Tips: Reason for applying face mask

Face cleansing, toning, and moisturizing are not enough in taking care of our face.  While cleansing and toning gets rid of dirt, grime, and makeup. Moisturizing helps make our faces smooth and supple but it does not penetrate the dermis (underneath our skin).

Thus, We need to apply face mask for the following reasons:

 - it draws out impurities from beneath our dermis. 

- helps to exfoliate our skin and unclog our pores therefore the use of moisturizing, toning and protecting products become more effective.

- stimulate blood circulation therefore our skin becomes more smooth and supple.

- a great relaxing experience. :)
